Healing Beneath The Moonlight

Chapter XXI: Until we meet again.

You can play the song and you can enjoy the rest of the song if you read too fast.

This is the end. Our journey as Seniors ends here. And our journey ends here. It's been an eventful senior years. Relationship problems, mental problems, academic issues, many more. And many helped. Classmates, homeroom teacher, principal, it really helped me.

Today is our graduation day. Tears being shed, painful sobs from students that will be separated from their friends, sobs from the teachers who helped a lot and the results didn't ditch the hard work. "Ryu! You got here early" Xiao Kai called and I nod. "I did, I woke up too early today, so I decided to get ready for the graduation. Kunikida is still getting ready" I smiled and felt the atmosphere around the ballroom. "it sure is different..." I observed the well decorated ballroom, the stage and the other students that got here early.

"This will get emotional for some" Yuuki came in looking pretty. "Yuuki!" Xiao Kai charged towards her and hugged her. "It will. Certainly for someone there" I pointed at Daichi's and Kousuke's direction. "Their eyes is already watering. It hasn't even started" Xiao Kai laughed and Kunikida entered with his suit. "The teachers here wore suits huh? Exquisite. Even though it's only a graduation" Xiao Kai chirped in, looking at Kunikida who was well dressed. He wore a red eyeliner too. "The red eyeliner fits you, Kunikida-sensei" Yuuki complimented.

"Why thank you. Let's get ready for the graduation shall we? It will start in 5 minutes. The students should be coming now" As soon as he said that sentence, swarms of seniors went in.

They all sat down on their seats and so did I. "Let's start this graduation, shall we? Let's start with a speech from a certain someone first" Aikawa-dono looked at Kunikida's direction. Kunikida walked towards the stage and bowed to Aikawa-dono before stepping further. Kunikida took out his phone and connected his music playlist to the speakers around the ballroom. The first song that played was Namae wo yobu yo. "Namae wo Yobu yo? Interesting pick" Xiao Kai whispered. "Let's enjoy the music first" Kunikida spoke and we all enjoyed the music and some already cried.

"Alright. These years has been very eventful for me. Especially at the last year of senior, I felt really happy. Though I'm not really a teacher here, I really enjoy teaching the students with what I know. This year, many events came up. Masquerade, class decorating, and finding relationship is the most memorable events for me. I met a certain someone that relates to my situation right now, and I'm glad I met him. I'm really grateful for that and I'm also really grateful for how my students behaved towards me. I might make some mistakes and I sincerely apologize for the mistakes I make. I still have a lot to learn as a new teacher. It's been a great year and I'm greatful that Aikawa-dono pulled me in here. Thank you for your kindness and I wish you all a successful college life" Kunikida bowed after he finished his speech and it was indeed, pretty emotional. The way he apologized to the smallest mistake is hurting some classmate.

"Alright, thank you very much Kunikida-kun. Let the graduation continue" Aikawa-dono started to show memories of our senior years, suited with a classical song playing. It made us really emotional.

This 3 years felt fast. Fast enough we don't even realize that were going to college soon. It really was a memorable year. I don't think I can forget how beautiful these 3 years were. I got emotional just by remembering how we all spent out days. The first time I went here, I was so nervous I kept stuttering. I was so nervous I couldn't even face other people.

"The diploma will be shared and I will call you one by one starting from Class A"

The graduation went well and everyone got their diploma. Some cried. And some was really happy. They contacted their parents and they took photos. "Ryu, even if we ended up not on the same building, I'll keep calling for your name to cheer me up" Xiao Kai spoke with a smile. "That's weird but you do you" I responded and chuckled.
